This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joe_3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Ver. 15. The sun and the moon shall be darkened] he sets this note, "Signs which shall go before the last judgment," Mat_24:29 Luk_21:25. {See Trapp on "Joe_2:13"} The prophets, by such forms of speech, use to decipher greatest calamities when all things look dark; as it fareth also with them that are under spiritual desertion, Isa_50:10, who yet are exhorted there to "trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon their God"; to cast the anchor of hope, as Paul and his company did in the shipwreck, Act_27:20, when they saw neither sun nor moon for many days together, and no small tempest lay upon them; all hope that they should be saved being taken away.
